I think you're talking pcv system CP. You just put a breather on there or you could run a catch can, although I don't know why you'd want to.

I mean the tubes that run across my motor and plug into my valve cover on the drivers side. Idk what all the tubes and stuff are in the motor lol. I just hate that tube it just ugly.

The moroso ones are nice, but I don't know if I'd spend $500 on a set of covers. Personally, after having done this on both my car and my buddies because of leaking gaskets, I would say don't do this if you don't have to. It's not the biggest pain in the *** I've ever dealt with on this car, but it takes a bit of work getting them in and out, and if you got sausage fingers like I do, some of those bolts can be a tad tricky to get back in. If you're doing cams or have a leaking gasket or have a reason to go in there, go ahead and paint them. But personally I wouldn't go through the trouble just to paint the covers.

Well i think im gonna buy a set of trickflow covers off summit (got 10% code) and an aluminum coolant tank (powdercoated). Then like a fuse cover box i tihnk from UPR (black w/ the gt engraved) then i think that will be enough for under the hood. We'll see when its all on

I can't find any good pics of the trickflow covers (either black or silver) on our cars. Does anyone have some pics???

I can't decide which ones id want...if the silver ones would be too much silver.
